I saw a video on tiktok which was supposed to be funny but it brought me down memory lane… the guy asked: «  so all of you kids that grew up as an only child what did you do? Are you okay? »

Uhm well I am not okay lol I always wanted a sister but my mom couldn’t have any more children sadly.

What did I do ?

• I read a lot of books, I used to lock myself in a room and read all day because I hated to be disturbed; my mom would knock on the door when it was time to eat or when she wanted to check on me. She was always worried about me but I would always say that  I’m fine.
• I had imaginary friends ! Yup I had three imaginary friends and I would talk to them all day while I do my chores around the house or when I felt alone.
• I had a journal, I used to write a lot in my journal because I didn’t have any other kid my age in the house. I always felt alone hence why I still feel alone even now as an adult :(
• I played with the dogs and the cats… I would sleep a lot too during the day

If I have a kid I will do everything that I can to give that kid a sibling because being an only child is traumatizing and it sucks ! You always feel so alone and out of place. You always want to be part of something but always feel left out and you always feel like you missed out on a lot of things. That’s why I got Archie a brother to play with, I was alone and I didn’t want my cat to be alone too. 

If you were an only child, I sympathize with you.
